Abstract
A novel method for isolating transposable elements was used to isolate an approximately 1.6 kb insertion sequence from Streptomyces. The method entails transforming a cell with a plasmid containing a repressor gene, so that the introduction of a transposable element into the gene allows the expression of a selectable marker in a second host cell. The novel insertion sequence isolated from Streptomyces lividans CT2 has been designated IS493.
